What Causes Severe Pain In The Thoracic Region?

I keep getting pain at various times on my upper torso. Always in a different spot ( feels like a bad burn especially when my shirt rubs on it) and can last from a day to several days. No visible signs on the skin. Very painful. What can I do to rid the pain?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Such type of pain is seen with hypersensitivity of cutaneous nerves.
And this is commonly seen with vitamin b 12 and folic acid deficiency.
So start supplements of vitamin B12 and folic acid.
Take 1 tablet twice daily after food.
If you are not improving after 15 days of treatment then consult dermatologist.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
